Eastern Cape club Chippa United have re-signed Ronaldo Maarman on a permanent deal after Orlando Pirates decided to offload him.
The 23-year-old Maarman turned out for the Chilli Boys last season as he was on loan from the Buccaneers.
Meanwhile, the Chilli Boys face Kaizer Chiefs in a season opener at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Sunday afternoon.
